Messaging inside your event

Conversations that stay
inside your event.

Attendees message each other and message exhibitor stands, in real time, without swapping phone numbers or moving the conversation to a platform you cannot see.

Why chat belongs in the event app

The conversation is the event. It should not leak to a channel you cannot support

Without somewhere to talk, attendees fall back on exchanging numbers, adding each other on a social network, or simply not following up. All three take the value of your event somewhere you cannot help.

A message is lower friction than an introduction

Not everyone will walk across a room. A message is how a quiet delegate starts the conversation they came for.

Nobody has to give out a number

Messaging inside the event means contact without handing over a personal phone number to a stranger.

Exhibitors can be reached before the queue

An attendee who can message a stand can ask a question without waiting at a busy booth — and the stand keeps the lead.

Silence looks like failure

Typing indicators, read state and unread counts are what make a chat feel answered rather than ignored.

For attendees

Messaging that behaves the way people expect

One-to-one conversations

Direct messages between attendees, in real time, inside the event app.

Message an exhibitor stand

Conversations with booth teams run through the same inbox, so a question about a product does not need a walk across the hall.

Typing, read state and unread badges

The signals that tell someone their message landed — and tell them when it has been read.

An opt-in directory

Attendees choose whether they appear in the people list, so the directory is made of people who want to be contacted.

Scan to start a conversation

A stand's QR code opens a chat directly, turning a poster or a banner into the start of a conversation.

Connections that outlive the event

A conversation sits alongside connections and saved contacts, so the follow-up is still there the week after.

For the organizing team

On, off, and yours to shape

Chat is a screen in the attendee app like any other — you decide whether it exists, what it is called, and where it sits in the navigation.

FAQ

Attendee Chat questions

Do attendees have to share their phone number to chat?

No. Messaging happens inside the event app against their event profile, so people can talk without exchanging personal contact details.

Can attendees message exhibitors?

Yes. Conversations with exhibitor stands run through the same inbox as attendee-to-attendee messages, and stands can set their availability and auto-replies.

Is everyone visible to everyone?

No. The attendee directory is opt-in per attendee, so only people who have chosen to be listed can be found and contacted.

Is it realtime?

Yes — messages, typing indicators, read state and unread counts all update live rather than on a refresh.

Can we turn chat off for some ticket types?

Yes. Feature access can be granted per attendee, so messaging can belong to particular ticket types while others do not see it.

What happens to a conversation after the event?

Conversations stay with the attendee's connections in the event app, and exhibitors can save a conversation into their lead list so the follow-up survives the show.
